Skywatch Friday

Better late than never :) These were all taken the same day, at my sister's birthday party. We sat out on her back deck and relaxed, and the sky was just busy with all kinds of birds. Of course, ALL the cameras came out! It's so much fun to share a hobby with family.
This is what I call a black-headed gull, but I've also seen them referred to as "Laughing Gulls"...
Our state bird, the Mockingbird...
And some Canadian Geese...
And the moon, just because I liked it :) Have a great weekend!
